The people who are say you can get the proxy for having other founders you talk to or
or stuff like that is they often lack context, like context about like how the company's really doing.
Who are these people that, you know, this founder's working with, you know, what's going right or wrong.
And like a board member has to have like some level of visibility, sometimes really good visibility.
So you kind of I can project, you know, sort of your emotional state and why it is what it is.
because once you talk to some things about with an exec, all hell breaks loose.
Yeah.
Like you can't ever show any depth to an exec without like people like suddenly catastrophically moving in a different direction.
And a really good, a really good board member, you can have a conversation with, you know, I'm not sure this part of our strategy is right, or this part of the team, or maybe we don't need this, maybe we don't need this team, et cetera.

Like so imagine imagine one of my companies that we're counting on being successful has a really severe problem.
Nobody here's gonna fire me if something goes wrong.
So when you call me up and say, Hey, I've got this really severe problem, what do you think I should do?
